rial to which is applied a cylindrical body 2 of relatively thin paper. tising .matter vmay bedisplayed upon the bottom disk and the body. Aring 3 of cardboard or other suitable material fits snugly in the lower portion of the body 2-y and rests at its lower edge upon the upper vsurface of the bottom disk 1 and in the vicinity of the edge of the said disk. 'The' ends of the said ringare disconnectedfrom each other whereby the saidring may lit snugly in the lower portion .of the bod as indicated. A strip of pa er V4 is secure at one end 4to the outer sur ace of thebody 2 and in thevicinity of the edge of the disk 1y and the said strip is provided at its inner.-

sides with an adhesive which may be'dampened to cause the disk to adhere to any particular part of the container with which it may be brought contact.

Suitable adverv fixed end.

When the articles of Ilaundry'as for instance, collars, are placed in the ring 3 and upon the upper surface of the bottom'disk 1 the upper portion of the body 2 is folded down within the rin and in the space which is left at the center of the collars. The strip 4 is then carried transversely across the ring and down and along the under surface of the bottom disk '1 and may be secured by dampening the adhesive to the body and the bottom disk. i, 4
